Nice necro play, wouldn't have noticed this otherwise. Great thread, found much that conforms to my own inner process.
I see the Adept as (in addition to what has been posted) someone who operates beyond the "visible", concerning itself with things beyond proof, like a blind man doing a surgeon's work, yet somehow still manages to hit the mark. The fruit of the work is beyond what is normally required/expected of 3rd D experience. Like the saying "It's hubris only if I fail", if the Adept succeeds, the world becomes a better place and it gets a cherry on top of the pie; if the Adept fails, it will look funny; if the "Adept" enjoyed itself/invested into this area too much to have neglected the basic homework, which is opening the heart, things get toxic. The Adept's work, the risk, the fruit being a plus to what is appropriate work in a typical 3rd D setting, and are for experienced players only. Still, some people just can't stay away from it.
